Have you heard about Face Book? How about My Space?
Where I am heading – do you know we have an alumni site that gives you a lot of what is on these other sites, and it is a closed network for us? It is our Online Community. Are you signed up yet? Do not miss out on what we have. I have used this site to find college friends. I have had others find me. That best friend from 30 years ago might be trying to find you. Make it easy. Post on our Online Community. Post a class note. Search for that friend whom you know you want to catch up with. Post a picture of yourself with your profile – we all have changed a little.
Once you have signed on, update your profile. This makes it easier for people to find you. The Global Search Tool is great. If I am looking for a certain sorority sister, but do not know her married name, I can search my sorority name to pull up women registered. The more of us who are signed on, the stronger the community becomes.
Take about ten minutes and get on line. Make our community one person stronger with your name and information. Then start renewing old friendships.
While on line, check out the photos – alumni pets in Marshall gear; future Marshall alumni. How about the pictures from Homecoming and our first annual Marshall cruise? There is a lot to share, and more will be coming.
Once you have added yourself, send me an invitation to become your “friend.” We have 80,000 alumni out there – how many “friends” can I add?
Here is the web site for the
Online Community:
Are you ready for the Chesapeake Energy Capital Classic? It is coming up fast. Wednesday, January 23 – Marshall v. WVU. I hope to see your there. I invite you to the Civic Center South Hall for the MUAA reception. The women’s game starts at 5:30 p.m., and the men at 8. As always, please stop to say "hello" to me and other members of the board, as well as the Alumni Relations staff. We look forward to seeing you there. If you can’t be there in person, you can listen to a live stream beginning at 5 p.m. on WMUL-FM, 88.1. It is a great way to catch the game.
Always wearing the green…
